"Isolated US failed to create Naval Coalition in the gulf," Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said, APA reports citing Sputnik International.
Zarif accused the US of being responsible for Gulf tensions which he claimed prompted “misery”, stressing that it is Iran which is responsible for the region’s safety and security.
He also reiterated that last month’s seizure of an Iranian tanker by UK marines was an act of piracy and that the vessel was not en route to Syria.
He also described US slapping sanctions on the top Iranian diplomat as failure in diplomacy.
The statement comes after the US Department of Treasury said last week that they imposed sanctions on Zarif, in what Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi suggested had taken place because the US feared the Iranian Foreign Minister’s negotiating skills.
